OVERVIEW
1. Why it is paramount to know and understand manufacturing terminology? Why should you care?
2. How do part manufacturers talk about standards?• Dimensioning• Tolerancing• CpK• IT Scale
3. How do you differentiate between various manufacturing methods?• How do various additive technologies fit in?• How do various additive technologies compare to one another?• Where are the spots of confusion?
4. Where does HP Multi Jet Fusion (HP MJF) technology fit in?• Where is the technology today?• Where is it going?• How can existing manufacturing standards work with HP MJF technology?

Constantly troubleshooting machine, model, or file related issues
Possibly printing multiple times before you get a “good” model

3D Prototypers transitioning to Production
Changing materials and re-calibrating machines frequently
Constantly troubleshooting machine, model, or file related issues
Possibly printing multiple times before you get a “good” model
Processing small batches of parts
Non-consistent maintenance schedules
Problems you might be faced with today:
Do you have time to always change materials and recalibrate when you are printing 100s of parts a day?
How are you able to maintain a production schedule if problems keep occurring?
A part processing line must be established to get repeatable, consistent, and high quality outputs.
If your part yield is low, it becomes very challenging to remain profitable.
Unplanned downtime is a production and costing timeline killer.
These problems prevent your business from scaling

3D Prototypers transitioning to ProductionTerminology repackaging
“How quickly can I get a prototype in my hands”
“What is the service number to troubleshoot this issue?”
“ Too much stepping or shrink? Print it again in a different orientation so that we can get a better looking part”
“ Oh we ran out of post processing supplies again, go get another one from the store”
“ Well, since our machine went down again we might as well do the PMs since they are due soon”
“What will it take to get 5000 parts in the next month under $5/part?”
“What is our backup plan to maintain production schedules if a failed build were to occur?
“What does our production ramp up schedule look like to verify that we are getting the yield of parts that we desire?”
“How many pounds of supplies and what tools will we need to adequately process 1000 parts a week for 6 weeks?”
“At what interval and how much time will we be down for preventative maintenance? Do we have all of the necessary tools and supplies ready?”

Dimensional Requirement: which tolerances necessary for mechanisms to fit, or function. This is very dependent on the application and specific mechanism
3 ELEMENTS OF PART DIMENSIONSAll are necessary
LISAMECHANICAL ENGINEER
A. Fit requirements: there are standards for press fits, and clearance fits, and other “hole and shaft” fitting. ANSI Standard Limits and Fits (ANSI B4.1-1967,R1974). Whether a press or clearance fit is needed is dependent on the functional calculations for a specific mechanism.
B. Functional requirements: But generally, there are more functional tolerances than fit tolerances on a part. Developing the relationship between part tolerances and subsystem function is a large part of the mechanical engineers work in the development phase. This is very application dependent.
1
Geometric Dimensioning & Tolerancing or drawing standards: or how to communicate your dimensional requirements on a drawing. This is called Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing or GD&T. If mechanical engineers didn’t follow the same drawing rules, then nobody could understand anybody else’s drawing. ASME Y14.5 or ISO/TC213
2
Dimensional Tolerance standard: this is the standard that allows a comparison between process capabilities. ISO 286/ANSI B4.2-1978 International Tolerance Grade3

LISAMechanical Engineer
Most dimensional requirements are about subassembly functioning. Tolerance stacking or worst case analysis for functionality is a large part of the mechanical engineer’s work in the Development Phase

2. Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing
Dimension Types
1. Functionally critical dimensions: these are explicitly given a tolerance range of +N/-N2 on the dimension itself
2. Process control dimensions: these are generally dimensions which are easy to measure and which indicate whether a process is drifting or not. They may also imply that the functional dimensions are beginning to vary
3. General dimensions: the tolerance range is not explicitly stated but referred to the signature box on the drawing
Signature Box in accordance with ASME Y14.5 or ISO/TC213

REMEMBER: !
© Copyright 2019 HP Development Company, L.P. The information contained herein is subject to change without notice.
PROCESS CAPABILITY OR CPK is the statistical probability of a process meeting a specFor a process to be capable, it needs to be both repeatable (precise) and centered
• ACCURACY = how close a measurement value is to the specified nominal (also called bias)
• PRECISION = how close multiple measurements are to each other (statistically measured as Cp)
• CAPABILITY = the statistical probability of a dimension being within its tolerance range
• CAPABILITY = Cpk = Cp *(1-(bias/0.5)) = has a statistical equivalent “sigma”
LOW BIAS AND GOOD CP SO CPK IS GOOD
BOTH, accurate and precise
GOOD BIAS (LOW)BUT HIGH VARIABILITY
ACCURATE, but not precise
GOOD CP (LOW VARIABILITY) BUT HIGH BIAS
PRECISE, but not accurate
© Copyright 2019 HP Development Company, L.P. The information contained herein is subject to change without notice.
MANUFACTURING PREDICTABILITYSigma or Cpk is a dimensional success rate. Part yield is different
NOTES:
• Cpk and sigma are metrics for a
specific dimension being good
• For a part to be good, all the specified
dimensions need to be good
• Yield is a part metric and could be
calculated as the statistical sum of
probable dimensional tolerance
failures + some estimation for
cosmetic failures or other.

Summary
3D Printing is entering an era where it can compete up to reasonable production volumes against injection molding and this requires the printing device to have a good ratio of Productivity/Acquisition Cost
A development phase cannot be skipped with any process, but digital process development can be much shorter and much less expensive
The chosen part fabrication process must meet the design requirements for accuracy, and the design will always need to be optimized to the chosen part fabrication process
3D Printing can disrupt product development cycles and the Return on Investment of new products•Designing for and fabricating with 3D Printing, with its shorter development cycles, can open more flexible product development processes, that include such concepts as bridge manufacturing. •Additional functionality or product differentiation can also be considered.
